“Are you the camp program that helps troubled
kids?”
“Yes,” said Newton.
“Good, I have some for you. They’re my
employees.”

The story of how Ron Newton helped the caller is why
No Jerks on the Job is an indispensable resource for
every manager, supervisor, co-worker, or anyone
dealing with difficult and “value-challenged” employees
and cultures.

Contrary to popular opinion, the greatest threat to
American business is not the current economic deficit,
it is the deficit of character in America’s workplace
brought by an increasing number of adult-age, workplace
brats.

As reported in countless media stories, this “values
deficit” is one that threatens the core ideals
and economic viability of American business today. The
problem of business brats is widespread and little understood – until
now.

In No Jerks on the Job, Ron Newton recounts meaningful
lessons gleaned from years of running a unique wilderness
camp program for troubled youth. These lessons provide
a powerful solution to today’s foremost corporate
vexation – overcoming the problems caused by “value-challenged” managers
and employees.

No Jerks on the Job vividly describes the world of
relational hand-to-hand combat with problem workers and
dysfunctional work cultures. Newton masterfully connects
real-life patterns of troubled adolescent behavior to
similar problems in business. Recounting engaging stories
from both campsite and boardroom, Newton reveals concise
and effective “brat-busting” solutions that
will return positive productivity to a formerly damaged
business environment.

Ron Newton is a dynamic communicator who answers the
most crucial questions of our business times.

What are business brats?

Where do they come from?

What harm do they do?

How do you take back control?

No Jerks on the Job is an indispensable resource for
managers, supervisors, co-workers, or anyone dealing
with difficult and “value-challenged” employees
and cultures.
